MAYOR PURCELL: We have two public hearings. I would like to open the Kelaka, LLC annexation public hearing. Public hearing is now open. Is there anyone in the public who would like to speak to the Kelaka, LLC annexation public hearing? If so, step to the microphone, state your name, please. KEVIN KEARNEY, testified from the podium as follows: MR. KEARNEY: Good evening, everyone. My name is Kevin Kearney. I represent the petitioner, Green Door Capital Investments. I am here tonight to represent petitioner on this application for annexation and the annexation agreement. There is another item on the agenda that I will be speaking to as well. I 'd just like to make a couple general points about this. It is a voluntary annexation into the city. It's done consistent 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com City Council - Public Hearings - July 23, 2024 5 with the state statutes regarding annexation. It's contiguous to the city. It's unincorporated. It's got the permission of the property owner. We are the contract buyer, will become the property owner if all things go through, and we feel that the annexation is an opportunity to continue a great relationship that we have with the city and build upon it, and also to -- the rezoning that's also considered in the annexation agreement represents the best possible use of the property. So we are happy to answer any questions that you may have about the petition itself, but we feel it's fairly straightforward. It's a voluntary annexation coming into the city. Thank you. MAYOR PURCELL: Thank you. Is there anyone else who would like to speak to the Kelaka, LLC annexation public hearing? (No response.) MAYOR PURCELL: Seeing and hearing none, the Kelaka, LLC annexation public hearing is closed. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com City Council - Public Hearings - July 23, 2024 6 Next I would like to open the public hearing for the Hagemann, Hagemann, however you pronounce it, apologize, annexation public hearing. The Hagemann annexation public hearing is now open. Same rules. If anyone would like to speak to that, please step to the microphone and state your name for the record. MONICA SHAMASS, testified from the podium as follows: MS. SHAMASS: Hi, everyone. My name is Monica Shamass and I am an attorney for Lisa Prather, Mike Riesenbeck, and Nick and Nicki Dodd. If you don't know them, or maybe you do, they are actually some of the families who are being affected by this annexing and this rezoning. These families have invested their lives, savings and dreams into these homes and I think that there is a little bit of a disparate consequence to them that is probably kind of happening because of how swiftly this is going on. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com City Council - Public Hearings - July 23, 2024 7 Despite their diligent efforts to find comparable properties at affordable prices, these families are confronted with options that are in either serious disrepair, not the same size, and, if they are, lots of that land or portions of that land are unusable; for example, some of them are marsh. When they do find land or property that is maybe a similar lateral move, they are finding that it is significantly more costly. The current annexation plan effectively isolates their properties, cutting them off and surrounding them with industrial and manufacturing uses making these residential lots unmarketable. This isolation inevitably will diminish their property values. We are not saying that this is something that would stop the annexation, right? What we are saying is the result of the annexation and then turning their properties into an island will effectively force them to have to sell. If they stay and then they want to 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com City Council - Public Hearings - July 23, 2024 8 sell sometime in the future, they have diminished property values, they won't be able to sell the land to future buyers with the same understanding that the property will be used in equal way or at equal value as to what it is being used now. So with that understanding, and that the real option is to sell, my clients have made a ttempts to engage with Green Door Capital seeking substantive discussion and fair negotiations; however, their efforts have been met with insufficient or non-substantive responses. Green Door Capital's offers are what it deems to be appropriate compensation, but unfortunately they fail to consider the drastic changes in the housing market since my clients have purchased their homes. It also fails to include the understanding that there is higher interest rates, increased housing costs, and that they operate specific businesses out of their properties, and with those specific businesses they have unique uses that they need from each individual property that they will eventually 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com City Council - Public Hearings - July 23, 2024 9 move to, and that inventory for those properties is very scarce, so it takes time. These families were approached regarding this matter only a short time ago, I believe in late June, and unfortunately some notices that were mailed never arrived. I even checked to see, you know, the tracking number. One of them is still in transit. Now, with that saying, they need a few more months to conduct proper due diligence on homes, seek out replacement properties and understand the valuations of their home now. Green Door Capital I believe and my understanding is is basing their evaluation on when they purchased these homes several years ago. Many of you understand that the housing market has changed. Some of you may have purchased home and understand that personally. Now, with that said, our clients need the ability to understand what is happening to them and what is uprooting their families and their lives and to be able to make informed decisions moving forward based on that information. They need time to negotiate with 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com City Council - Public Hearings - July 23, 2024 10 Green Door Capital and considering, you know, the weight of this decision. Public policy should not uproot families from their homes and push them into financial hardship. Instead we need time to collaborate with Green Door Capital to ensure that these family are not just compensated for properties that they bought based on numbers that are not -- or at least we haven't been given enough evidence for, but to rightfully make them whole. They need time to look for properties, they need time to talk to brokers and seek appraisal or see the appraisal that Green Door Capital is possibly using and then be able to respond, and so what we are looking for is a little bit more time to give them the ability to go ahead and do that and for us to actively, you know, seek proper discussion with I believe Mr. Kearney here and see where we can get, so that way both parties feel like they are getting a good deal. Thank you for the time, and I yield. MAYOR PURCELL: Thank you. Is there 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com City Council - Public Hearings - July 23, 2024 11 anyone else who would like to speak for the Hagemann annexation? MR. KEARNEY: Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Again, my name is Kevin Kearney, I represent Green Door Capital Investments. So just a few points. This, like the Kelaka annexation, is a voluntary annexation. This is done, the property owners approaching the c ity, to ask to annex into the City's jurisdiction. Under Illinois law it really only requires contiguity, it requires notice to be sent to the fire protection district, library districts, townships, and it requires that the land be unincorporated, so from an annexation perspective, Green Door has satisfied all the requirements for voluntary annexation. For the rezoning aspect of this discussion, this rezoning is under the c ity's UDO, should be evaluated like any other map amendment or rezoning within the municipality, and that requires analyzing is it consistent with the Comprehensive Plan that the city has in place. It does. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com City Council - Public Hearings - July 23, 2024 12 This rezoning to an M -2 is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, which designates all this property as general industrial, and if you look directly to the south of the property that's proposed to be annexed in, you will see that BrightFarms is general industrial with a PUD, south of that is M -2 as you are well aware, so this is consistent with the -- not only the existing zoning uses that are along Eldamain, but also consistent with what the c ity envisioned starting in 2019 this whole area being zoned as, and if you look, it's not in Yorkville, but across the street, there is likely going to be a similar use across the street in Plano, so those are the considerations that this Council is supposed to evaluate when determining whether or not to proceed with an annexation agreement that contemplates the zoning change, and that's the only thing that that annexation agreement is looking for. It's looking simply for a zoning change because, without it, it would annex in as R -1 , which is the lowest intensity use, and that's really not what the highest, best use of 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com City Council - Public Hearings - July 23, 2024 13 the property is. I 'm not going to speak to valuations with the other properties; I haven't been involved in those discussions, so I can't really speak to them intelligently, but I do know that my client has been working with adjacent property owners to come to some agreements there. They haven't agreed yet, but nothing about annexation and rezoning will stop the property owners from using the property as-is. They are unincorporated; they will remain unincorporated. They will continue using the property the way they are using it currently, and that won't change upon annexation, and, also, annexation and rezoning doesn't mean immediate development. We still have to locate a developer for the site, we don't have an idea of who is going to use the site. All of that is going to require further approvals by the City Council in due course, and specific issues that can be raised at that time can be addressed then, but we can't even speak what to those issues might be because we don't have any concrete plans for a 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com City Council - Public Hearings - July 23, 2024 14 development of the site, we are just looking to annex in and to be zoned appropriately for that annexation. Thank you. MAYOR PURCELL: Thank you. Is there anyone else who would like to speak to the Hagemann annexation public hearing? MS. SHAMASS: Am I allowed to go one more time, or no? MAYOR PURCELL: If you are quick, I 'll let you go. MS. SHAMASS: Thank you, I appreciate it. MAYOR PURCELL: I can be nice. MS. SHAMASS: Thank you so much. Just to respond to some of those things, yes, everything is being done by the book, no one is questioning what counsel is doing in terms of process, but what we want to point out is that there will be an effect on your community members, and public policy is there to protect the community. We are nothing without the community and we have to think about what the ramifications 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com City Council - Public Hearings - July 23, 2024 15 are of these processes that we are using and we are implementing, and so just because everything is following the process doesn't mean that it doesn't have a disparate impact on families. Yes, the presumption is maybe the way they live their life won't change, but we don't know that, and as they said, they don't know what they are going to put in there and we don't know how long construction is going to take and we don't know how long noise will last for or, you know, smells or anything like that, they have young children in those homes, and they were not invited to annex in, right, so there is I think things that can be handled, it just needs a little bit more time, and that's what they are requesting for this. So no one is trying to be unreasonable, no one is, you know, pointing fingers and saying anybody is doing anything incorrectly; we are just saying there are ramifications to this that need to be thought about and need to be considered. With that, I yield. MAYOR PURCELL: Fine. Is there anyone 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com City Council - Public Hearings - July 23, 2024 16 else who would like to speak to the Hagemann annexation public hearing?
